	- A recent study by scientists of the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) has proved that Himalayan Ibex is a distinct species from the Siberian Ibex.
 
	- It is distributed in the trans-Himalayan ranges of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh.
 
	- The study was done under a project funded through the National Mission on Himalayan Studies. 
 
	- The Project is implemented by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.
 
	- The latest genetic analysis provided first evidence to claim that Himalayan Ibex is genetically different from all other ranges of Siberian Ibex.
